Chen Ge did not expect it to go so successfully—he had just wanted to make himself look vulnerable so that it would be easier to endear himself to the man. Who knew that Mr. Liu would be so direct, ask for the culprit, and be so ready to represent him?

He’s a good teacher. Chen Ge sincerely thought this Liu Zhengyi was not bad. The Haunted House currently needs someone to manage the mannequins; he looks like the perfect candidate.

After sighing, Chen Ge did not instantly answer Mr. Liu’s question. Instead, he whispered, “Sir, I know you mean well, but I cannot say.”

“Are you afraid they’ll retaliate for being a tattle-tale?” Mr. Liu frowned. “Then have you considered that the more you refuse the resist, the weaker you’ll become in their eyes, creating a vicious cycle?”

Chen Ge lowered his head like he was seriously considering what Mr. Liu said.

“Don’t be afraid, I’ll help you,” Mr. Liu promised, and he was ready to take action. After a while, Chen Ge slowly raised his head like he had come to a decision. “Mr. Liu, this involves many people, and then you’ll realize the students and even colleagues around you have a side you don’t know. You are a good person; I don’t want to drag you into this mess.”

“Involves many people? I know most people at this school; they wouldn’t do something like that.” Mr. Liu had a great sense of justice, but he was not dumb. After thinking about it, he said, “Other than the headmaster, there are only six teachers, not including myself, and a few experienced clinical doctors. Based on my understanding of them, they would not be involved in something like bullying students.”

Chen Ge kept his head lowered, memorizing everything that Mr. Liu said.

“Minus the teachers, there are only students, security guards, and general staff.” Mr. Liu thought about it but could not come up with an answer. However, Chen Ge did not look like he was lying.

“Sir, these people look a certain way before you, but they change when you are not around. They are wolves under sheep’s clothing.” Chen Ge’s fists tightened when he said that, and the words were squeezed through his teeth. Seeing that, Mr. Liu felt sorry for Chen Ge.

“I cannot drag you down with me, but if there’s a chance, I’ll personally expose those people for you to see.” Chen Ge was not joking—he had sensed endless malice from that security guard earlier. The security guard who had merged with the world was not interested in Mr. Liu, but if he saw Chen Ge, he would attack relentlessly. Mr. Liu would then see the real face of these ‘people’.

“Alright then.” Mr. Liu did not force Chen Ge to continue. He walked back to the students and continued the class. Chen Ge was quite bored. The longer he stayed, the thicker the membrane became.

Mr. Liu is a nice person. I can make use of this chance to verify my speculation about whether helping the souls behind the door can help me gain the world’s approval or not.

He walked toward Mr. Liu, but before he got close, Mr. Liu stopped him. “No one is allowed to come near the autopsy table without the proper equipment.”

“Sir, I just want to see whether there’s anything that I can help you with.”
